I am very confused cause... are they having the christmas party at their house?? At first I thought Ami was getting the knife ready to kill Niki, but Imani's there too! Well, at least Akira's already used to Ami killing people with knives.

I care. Niki’s a top tier character and I love every moment she’s on screen.

Looks like it. Which is… a nice change of pace from the usual hotel imo.

As far as Ami with the knife goes, I don’t think it means anything malicious. Sel loves his fake-outs in these previews to throw you off, so my guess is she’s just preparing something in the kitchen with it.

Of course, the suspense will still be there for something to go wrong after last update. Guess we’ll have to see.

I think it's possible that it's neither a killing about to happen nor casual knifing around. I think the scene will make Ami recall her killing Nodoka, probably not fully, but there will be that odd moment of her looking at the knife just enough to make us wonder.

Yh man I fucking love Niki, one of my favourites and the hate for her here surprises me.
I'm willing to bet Ami in this picture is cutting Christmas turkey and internally monologuing about murdering Niki, maybe she hears Niki and Akira going at it. Wouldn't surprise me if Niki was intentionally loud to "put her claim" on Akira so to speak.

"worked alongside" is not the correct definition. I just used an asset in favor of my boy Akira
maybe the word you're looking for is entangled? Wouldn't you say, Wires?

Silver eyes? Nao-chan turned into Akira?

I think people dislike Niki because she initially has a grudge against Akira (at a time the player doesn't have much context as to why, and it takes a while until she gives up on her "revenge" facade).

Then we also have people that dislike her because she tries to take charge of Noodles/Akira, which tbf, is exactly what she should have done at the time of Sekai's death (but she was a teenager then), so I cut her a lot of slack because I interpret it as a delayed and overcompensated action. Which, again, tbf she does hold back when Akira tells her to, which, again, is almost never.

And, lastly, I'd guess some people resent her because they think she wasn't hard enough on Otoha, which I kind of agree with, but I can see why she wasn't too.

Edit: there's also the fact that she's just a freaking fake anyway since people with natural bubblegum colored hair simply don't exist - I cracked the code, Selebus!

They clearly do, because otherwise Noriko could just let her natural color grow out and completely mask-off Niki. Kumon-mi clearly exists in Anime Logic, where hair is whatever color it wants to be and massive weapons are easily concealed in pocket dimensions (which is why Noriko and Ayane area always heavily armed even when wearing clothing that has no ability to conceal the weapons).

I think a major component for Niki hate of late is because she took advantage of Akira's Sadboi Era to talk him into moving in, which jeapordizes the harem, but that can easily be solved by moving the harem shenanigans to the semi-secret apartment.

I think it only jeopardizes Niki herself, and maybe Maya and Ami to a lesser extent. Truth of the matter is that Niki can't "heal" Akira, he has to heal himself. What Niki is doing is putting herself into a position where she won't be able to ignore or pretend not to see what he's doing. It's likely that things aren't going to go how she wants them to. She'll either break or die.

Also, yeah, I'm betting that he'll move everything to the new apartment. Which is good for Niki's mental health, but very bad for Ami's. Or maybe I'm just overthinking everything and nothing bad will happen because she'll be busy with concerts all week long.

Were previous christmas updates in a single chain like halloween? Trying to read between the lines, I don't think Tsukasa events are gonna have any h in them if it's a major chain. Already thinking the Tsukiokas would be busy for christmas, and sensei being stuck in a chain would make it all but impossible for him to sneak out and freak out.

Christmas, Halloween, Dorm Wars, and Beach Trip are all event chains with minimal free-roam, if any. There may be a couple of free roam events before or after the chain, though.
